    I am at a loss of the passing of Emma Jean, talked to her on the phone about the Vickers family history but never got to go see her, Am sure she was named after her Great grandmother Emma Armstrong Vickers which is also my wife Bonita Huddleston Porters great Grand mother. In the first recording of graves 1962 at Dogwood cemetery Emma Vickers was listed , have ben unable to find the grave to remark the location , If there is any information found as to the date of her death Emma or Eliga Vickers or where they may be buried please share with me. Am sorry I missed the service , May she rest in peace forever. Windle & Bonita Porter.
